PlantEd – COST Action CA18111 – Genome editing in plants

WG1 – Technical Platforms

Working Group 1 will 1) assess and validate the actual and potential capacities and output within existing technical platforms applying genome editing in plant research and plant breeding in both the public research sector as well as, whenever possible, the private R&D sector in Europe and beyond, 2) define and develop common research priorities, and 3) develop synergistic interactions with technical platforms related to sequencing technology and –omics technologies.

WG1 leader: Dr Götz Hensel, goetz.hensel@hhu.de

WG1 vice leader: Dr Katrijn Van Laere, katrijn.vanlaere@ilvo.vlaanderen.be

COST

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.

About Action CA18111

A great challenge of this century is to provide adequate nutrition for an increasing global population while developing a more socially, economically and environmentally sustainable agriculture that counters climate change, biodiversity loss and degradation of arable land.
